Background and career

Fr. Juan Ignacio Molina (Spanish pronunciation: [xwan iɣˈnasjo moˈlina]; (June 24, 1740 – September 12, 1829) was a Chilean-Spanish Jesuit priest, naturalist, historian, translator, geographer, botanist, ornithologist, and linguist. He is usually referred to as Abate Molina (Abbot Molina), and is also sometimes known by the Italian form of his name, Giovanni Ignazio Molina.

Together with his contemporaries Erasmus Darwin and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, he was one of the proponents of the idea of the gradual evolution of species.

The standard author abbreviation Molina is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.
